Unified Accounting API
Unified Accounting API
One Unified Accounting API to integrate with Netsuite, Quickbooks, and all your customers’ favorite Accounting tools.
What is a Unified Accounting API?
Accounting platforms each store data differently, with their own authentication and schemas. A Unified Accounting API standardizes these into one interface — operations like Get Items, Get company Info, Create Payment work the same way no matter which platform is on the other end, while Knit manages translation, rate limiting, retries, and sync management underneath.

Unified Accounting API vs. building it yourself
Building it yourself
- A separate integration for every Accounting platform you support
- Different schema, auth, and pagination per platform
- You build and maintain OAuth for each platform
- Poll each API on your own schedule
- Engineering effort grows with every new platform
- Weeks to months per platform, per engineer
With Knit
- One Unified Accounting API covers every platform you support
- One normalized schema across every platform
- Embedded Auth handles OAuth, storage, and refresh for you
- Extensive webhook support for real-time sync
- Describe a missing app to the Integrations Agent and get it built instantly
- Live in days, not months

FAQ
Common questions about the Unified Accounting API
Which Accounting systems does Knit support?
17 Accounting platforms today — including Acumatica, ClearBooks, Dynamics 365 Accounting and more. Missing one you need? Knit's AI-assisted connector-build process typically adds a new one within days.
Does the Unified Accounting API support both reading and writing data?
Yes. It supports both reads and writes, so you can build bi-directional sync use cases — not just pull Accounting data, but push updates back to the source app.
How does authentication work across Accounting platforms?
Knit provides an embedded Auth component (white-labeling available on higher tiers) that handles OAuth, credential storage, and refresh — your customers authorize once through Knit, and you never touch raw credentials.
What is the timeline for adding a missing Accounting connector?
Typically days, not months — the same AI-based connector-build tooling that lets us maintain the 17 Accounting connectors already live.
Do you store Accounting data or customer PII?
No. Knit acts as a stateless passthrough — data is processed on our application server and sent directly to your webhooks, without being stored on Knit's servers.
What is the pricing model, and is there a free trial?
You choose the model that fits your business — pricing based on integrated accounts, or based on API call volume. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial before billing starts.
